Out of the Blue is a 1980 film featuring and directed by Dennis Hopper. The film was written and produced by Gary Jules Jouvenat. It competed for the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Film Critic Jonathan Rosenbaum considers it one of the 15 best films of the 1980s.[1]
It centers on a rebellious young girl (Linda Manz) interested in Elvis Presley and punk rock music, her ex-convict, truck driver father (Dennis Hopper), and her high-strung mother (Sharon Farrell). The title is taken from the Neil Young song "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)".
The original version of "Out of the Blue" was banned in the UK, but was aired in full on UK TV Channel 4 in a series of banned movies on January 10, 1987. The available formats of this film are all the legal edited versions.
The track Kill All Hippies, from British Rock band Primal Scream's 2000 album XTRMNTR is named after a piece of Manz' dialogue in the movie and features a sample.
